At tightly controlled town hall, Kansas’ Roger Marshall parrots rhetoric with future on the line

If I had to use one word to describe the meeting I attended March 17 with Sen. Roger Marshall in Yates Center, it would be “orchestrated.”

But that shouldn’t be surprising, given his refusal to address a crowd of frustrated constituents earlier this month in Oakley. In contrast, this week’s gathering in a small conference room in the basement of the Woodson County Courthouse was not a public town hall. Only those invited to participate were given the opportunity to speak – while about twenty constituents holding signs reading “DO BETTER” and “I WISH I WAS GETTING PAID TO BE HERE” exercised their First Amendment rights outside.
